Speaker choice for workshop

I just picked up a B&K ST-140 power amplifier and Forte F44 Pre Amp. Looking for a nice speaker match. Listen to jazz and rock. Low to moderate listing levels. System will be in my workshop 25 x 20. $500.00 budget, used is just fine by me. I was thinking something like a NHT3.3? Thank you for your input.

Suggest original Large Advents or EPI 100's. Should get a refurb'd pair of either for $200. For a coincidence view my system - Cheap Happiness.

Are the NHT 3.3s going that cheap now?

Pick up a copy of eiither Stereophile or Absolute Sound Recommended Components. Some very good <$500 choices

Depending on how much noise in the shop, the speakers won't matter too much

If it's for a workshop, maybe you could build a pair. The Parts Express website has lots of plans you can download, one of them, the "Golden Boys", was designed with exactly your situation in mind. I've never built any, but if I had a shop, I'd be tempted to.
